I was wondering the same thing. So weirdI'm having a problem, Mr. B.
The incoming coach is Charles Watkins...got a degree from Duke.
Tyree Watkins was dismissed(seemingly rightly so) from Duke.
Are they brothers?

No, he changed it to Charles.Changed names to reduce scrutiny?
Let’s hope he is a changed person 13 years later. Some people do, some never do'Conduct unbecoming' nets Duke WR a dismissal

Ideally, Christianity is all about forgiveness. Unfortunately, many self-professed Christians forget that part. As my father always taught us, your actions speak louder than your words.DART appears to have an element of repentance to it.
I'm not a religious person at all but it's pretty clear Coach Fran is incredibly religious so it's not entirely a surprise he is handing out second chances to people.Ideally, Christianity is all about forgiveness.

Some people value personal relationships while living as being more important then money. I know the vast majority of people on this board don't understand that. but nonetheless it happens.DART appears to have an element of repentance to it.
The fact that it was resolved with no record indicates to me that this wasn’t as egregious as reported and that he was an otherwise good kid. If it was really bad, the DA can go forward even if the accuser wanted it dropped.A second chance for a former Duke football player - The Chronicle A second chance for a former Duke football player
This article answers a lot of questions.
"The Durham district attorney agreed to defer prosecution of Watkins for assault on a female—a class A1 misdemeanor in the state of North Carolina. Watkins agreed to 75 hours of community service and six months probation. The state dismissed the case Oct. 31, 2012 and it is set to be expunged from Watkins’ record in early 2013."The fact that it was resolved with no record indicates to me that this wasn’t as egregious as reported and that he was an otherwise good kid.

So we are going to keep someone from improving themselves for something that happened 13 years ago? Has he repeated the offense? Has he been in trouble since this incident? According to your comments, he committed a serious offense that should limit any prospects he has for improving."The Durham district attorney agreed to defer prosecution of Watkins for assault on a female—a class A1 misdemeanor in the state of North Carolina.

They deferred prosecution, he still had 75 hours of community service and six months probation.
The lengths some of you will go to defend questionable hires within this football program...
DAs do that when cases are weak. You probably still think the Duke lacrosse players raped the stripper, because she said so. I spent 25 years dealing with he said, she said and understanding that allegations do not necessarily equal truth."The Durham district attorney agreed to defer prosecution of Watkins for assault on a female—a class A1 misdemeanor in the state of North Carolina.
